FOR PARENTS/CARERS OF COMPETITORS
Spectators
Please be aware that we aim to accommodate spectators in the viewing area. However, if numbers reach limit, we will ask spectators to rotate in and out, enabling all spectators chance to see their swimmers. There is no charge to enter at this event.
FOR COACHES
Passes
As per last year’s arrangements, these numbers are in alignment with SE rules. All clubs must have at least 1 Level 2 coach included in their poolside staff; the other staff must be Team Manager qualified. All poolside staff must have an up-to-date DBS and safeguarding certificate.
To authenticate your certification, you are required to log onto the SE website and print off your qualification to be always displayed whilst on poolside (instructions to do this can be found in this document Poolside Pass instructions). There is no cost involved to do this. Lanyards and pouches will be supplied to display your certificate on reporting to the meet office. Should you find that you are unable to meet these requirements then please buddy up with one of the larger clubs as this will assist everyone.
All clubs must complete this form – Wilts Champs 2026 – Poolside Passes – to confirm who will be on poolside at which sessions and the qualification they hold. Please return the form to Lisa Osman by Friday 23rd January – 10.00am. However, if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact any of the event team for clarification.
Passes will be checked on the door into the pool, so please ensure that it is on show.
Medals
Medals will be given out to swimmers during each session rather than bagging them up and passing them to coaches to distribute
Medals will be available up to the end of competition each day and then to the end of warm up the next day. Any medals not collected will be bagged up and passed to the coaches by the end of that session where possible.
Mobile Phones
As a reminder per Wavepower, swimmers are not to use their mobile phones and electronic devices in the changing rooms. We would like the coaches support with this and encourage all swimmers to leave mobile phones and electronic devices in their bags or on poolside when using the changing rooms.
Your cooperation in all these matters is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to working with you to deliver a great 2026 County Championships.
Many Thanks
The Events Team
